Background

An Accommodation Booking System seeks to improve its customer communication processes.

Embracing BestSMS's SMS API, the system aims to automate booking notifications and confirmations, ensuring timely updates for customers, and streamlining communication channels.

Process

Step 1: SMS API Integration

The Accommodation Booking System integrates BestSMS's SMS API via a JSON request to the RESTful API. This submission includes necessary booking details for SMS notifications.

Step 4: Customer Replies Handling

Any replies received from customers in response to the booking notifications are swiftly managed. The Accommodation Booking System ensures these replies are sent back via an API webhook to maintain continuous communication with the customers.
